As well as earning the academy player of the season award in the 2015/16 season, his Premiership debut came against Saracens in 2015, and he then kicked the winning penalty against Bath just a month later as he familiarised himself with English rugby’s top tier. He scored a total of 121 points for Newcastle and is known as an expansive and attacking fly-half.[1]
